NAME

       xalan - Process XML documents with XSLT stylesheets

SYNOPSIS

       xalan [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Xalan-C++ (named after a rare musical instrument) implements the W3C Recommendation 16 November 1999 XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0
       and the XML Path Language (XPath) Version 1.0. XSLT is the first part of the XSL stylesheet language for XML. It includes the XSL Transfor-
       mation  vocabulary  and XPath, a language for addressing parts of XML documents. For links to background materials, discussion groups, fre-
       quently asked questions, and tutorials on XSLT, see Getting up to speed with XSLT.

       You use the XSLT language to compose XSL stylesheets. An XSL stylesheet contains instructions for transforming XML documents from one docu-
       ment  type  to another document type (XML, HTML, or other). In structural terms, an XSL stylesheet specifies the transformation of one tree
       of nodes (the XML input) into another tree of nodes (the output or transformation result).
